The disclaimer at the top of the benchmark section - https://github.com/FastVM/minivm#benchmarks - seemed pretty reasonable to me.
It's very clear that microbenchmarks don't tell the whole story, and that whole application benchmarks to give more real results will be desirable later.
I mean, I agree these benchmarks don't mean that much except for being a useful way to verify that the core code is working and reasonably performant - but they're up front about that fact so calling it 'benchmark-gaming' seems a trifle unfair.

Personally, I find it pretty impressive that it performs as well as these runtimes despite not having a JIT compiler. I'm pretty sure Shaw's written more benchmarks, but as the README explains, it's really hard to tell what the performance characteristics of a language are without writing a larger application. So far the largest applications written with MiniVM is Paka[0], a self-hosted language similar to Lua that targets MiniVM; os49[1], an operating system built on Paka/MiniVM in the spirit of lisp machines; and xori[2], an online playground for the language.

How does this compare to the techniques used in the wasm3 (name, not description)?
